The final two matches of Gameweek 12 kick off simultaneously at 16:30 GMT, with the Manchester derby at the Etihad the stand-out fixture.

Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates in the other tea-time game.

Manchester City have made just one change from the side that beat Southampton last weekend, with Riyad Mahrez replacing Leroy Sane.

That alteration will likely see Raheem Sterling move over to the left flank, as he had done in the Champions League in midweek.

Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy return to the City starting XI after being rested for that win over Shakhtar.

The injured Paul Pogba misses out altogether for United, while Romelu Lukaku is fit enough for a place on the bench after a return to training on Friday.

Alexis Sanchez drops out of the United line-up, meanwhile, with Marcus Rashford set to lead the attack.

Marouane Fellaini returns to a defensive-looking central midfield alongside Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

In north London, Unai Emery has made one change from the side that drew with Liverpool: Alex Iwobi replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the right flank.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remains unchanged, though Diogo Jota has recovered from injury to take his place among the Wolves substitutes.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Coady, Bennett, Boly, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty, Costa, Cavaleiro, Jimenez.

      Thanks guys

  2. JohnnyMagrinho

      Liverpool only able to muster a pathetic 2 goals against a woeful Fulham side.
      Arsenal inexplicably drawing 1-1 at home with Wolves with their main players not involved.
      Chelsea lacklustre enough to not even score against Everton.
      Leicester drawing with appalling Burnley 0-0 at home.
      Foyth (the guy who gave away two penalties on his debut) apparently gets the only goal and a clean sheet for Spurs against Palace.
      Holebas apparently back in the fold and scores after being dropped (as claimed by pretty much every news outlet and player on here).
      Mahrez plays for like 60 minutes and gets an assist while Sterling does absolutely nothing.
      And Martial apparently scoring a penalty against City.

      And this game isn't about luck I hear some people say. Right.

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I can confirm that Martial did actually score a penalty if that helps you?

        apparently it's all true

      3. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        a) Its the premier league, Fulham played a very defensive team and this is the match they needed to show a decent performance otherwise Jokanovic would be sacked. Not suprised considering this team lost to Red Star 2-0 midweek.
        b) Everton played very very well, pressing high all the way throughout the game barely giving Chelsea a chance and even so, they had chances which they didn't take
        c) Leicester... think about it for a second
        d) Not surprising at all - Palace are good defensively
        e) Not surprising
        f) Not surprising considering Sterling's record v big clubs
        g) Maybe surprising but considering his form? not really

        Better luck next time

        1. JohnnyMagrinho
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Must be a troll.

          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Stats all pointed to Arsenal Wolves being a low scoring game actually.

          Liverpool haven't exactly been turning teams over.

          Leicester unlucky for sure.

          Obviously there is an element of luck involved in this game, no one disputes that. If you think it's pure luck then why do you play?

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Stats also pointed to CPA-TOT being low scoring too.

      5. Dreezer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Is everyone that has salah and mane keeping them in? Very tempted to get Dsilva or sterling in

        1. Sterling Malory
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I'm keeping Mane as he's my only pool attacking coverage, if I had both I would probably freshen things up.

          Have you any City Mid?

          1. Dreezer
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Nope, aguero mendy only

      6. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Maddison & Mendy to
        Martial & Laporte/stones on 2 FT?

        1. Chucky
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          yes. with laporte

          1. The Red Devil
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Or downgrade Doherty to 4.3-4.4?

        2. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Would be wary of ditching mendy but Martial & Laporte if you're certain.

      7. Chucky
        • 12 Years

        Good to go for next GW? 😀

        1. Sterling Malory
          • 10 Years

          I'd go Arnie over Fraser

          And keep an eye in Rich fitness.

          1. Chucky

        1. B.Silva/Martial in for Sigurdsson tonight

        2. Hold transfers until after the international break.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Hold

        2. Dosh
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Why sell Siggy?

        3. The Mighty Hippo
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Don't get rid of Siggy. Do you have anyone else you could swap out for B.Silva or Martial?

          1. Henning
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            This is my mid with 0.4 m in the bank
            Salah Mane Sigurdsson Fraser Capoue

            1. All de Gea no iDier
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Invest it elsewhere.

        4. All de Gea no iDier
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Hold Siggy. He's nailed, on pens and free kicks and seems to be resuming his pre-transfer form. I've got Rich and can't quite afford a move to Siggy, but he's on my radar.

      12. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        A thought for people who don't think salahs worth having.
        You have to consider captaincy.
        Him and aguero have alternated home games nicely. Captaining the home player with the best fixture has delivered

        Salah 16 16 16 6 30
        Aguero 40 12 14 16 12 26

        Salahs 3x2 against city the only failure. Hazard conveniently scored 14 points against Southampton that week.

        1. gaurava1216
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No rotation of Home/ Away next week on... now what?

        2. Black Knights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Without salah, I’ve had mané for a 32 and a 30 and hazard for a 40 and 28.

      13. Firmino
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Maddison -> Martial
        Wilson -> Jimenez

        For free tonight? Could be a 0.5 - 0.7 swing by the next gameweek.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years

        Would you rather have Aguero and a 4.5m midfielder or Sterling and Success? The 4.5 mid or Success would be on the bench

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero as I wouldn't confidently captain Sterling.

        Players possibly out the door: Salah, Barkley, Pererya, Success, Ederson

        So many options..

        1. Ederson + Barkley > Patricio + Richarlison
        2. Ederson + Pererya > Fabianski + Martial
        3. Barkley + Pererya > Martial + 4.9 fodder
        4. Ederson, Barkley, Success, Salah > Patricio, Martial, Jimenez, Sterling (-8)
        5. Ederson, Barkley, Pererya, Salah > Patricio, Martial, Richarlison, Sterling (-8)

        Thoughts?

        Seems like Martial is in or going in every other RMT under this article. His price will soar. Feeling the pressure to make the move early

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I must be the only one who hasnt even considered him

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He won't score in 6 consecutive games... he was already put into an elite list of 5/6 players to have scored in 5... Bandwagon fail incoming

          1. internal error
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            His returns are not sustainable but he does have some good fixtures coming up. He is very clinical

      19. Styles_X
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        whats the average looking like?

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Look up

      20. HNI
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Have 2fts. Was planning to save 1 and use 1 now
        Which to do?
        1) Wilson to Jiminez
        2) Arnie to Jiminez then do Wilson to Arnie after Arsenal as they have been dreadful

        1. HNI
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Also Arnie has Mcity so looks unlikely for a goal/assist

        2. HNI
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          3) option Arnie + Barkley + Mendy to Laporte + Martial + Jiminez for -4

      21. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        As I will get Jimenez, who should I bench of

        A) Alonso (tot)
        B) Arnie (MCI)
        C) Fraser (ARS)?

        1. We Will Klopp you

        Starting Doherty over Laporte next GW, also have Robinson and Alonso. Does that look ok?

          Yes

          I think Doherty is a must start next week. I'm debating who to bench out of the big defenders, currently benching mendy.

          I'd be tempted to drop Barkley to the bench with Chelsea away at Spurs and play four at the back.

        Maddison Mendy
        To
        Martial Laporte
        Or
        Maddison Doherty
        To
        Martial dunk

            Can save 0.2 more by doing Doherty to Bennett
            Like wolves next 2 games

        Is Mendy still worth it?

          In the 4 gameweeks I've owned him this season he's only returned 13 points. Feels like his biggest hauls may have already happened. Hard to ditch with a decent run coming for city though.

          his attacking numbers are way down, wouldn't buy but wouldn't sell either

          I'm holding for the CS now mainly, if Ederson doesn't keep giving away pens...

        What to do here?
        Patricio (Button)
        RAM TAA (AWB)
        Richarlison Hazard Mane(C) Fraser Sterling
        Wilson (Arnie) (Kamara)
        1 ft, 0.8 it
        A) TAA to Doherty
        B) Wilson to Jimenez
        C)Mane to Martial/Alli
        D)Save

        Got 0.0£ ITB and 2FT. Considering Duffy->Dunk and Hazard->Sterling. Other suggestions?
        Ryan - Hamer
        Mendy - Robertson - Doherty - Duffy - Zabaleta
        Hazard - Salah - Martial - Richarlison - Kenedy
        Wilson - Arnautovic - Agüero

          Don't sell Hazard. Captain material after next gw. Maybe Wilson for Jimenez and save other Ft

        I'm still available for the manager melee if anyone wants me.

          Ditto.

        Mane + Salah owners. Who are you keeping? Both? Salah? Mane? None?

        If selling, who for?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Torn between Mane > Dilva and Salah > Sterling

          1. The Train Driver
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Thinking of this as well. Salah > Sterling gives me Pereira > Mendy/Robertson option as well, so leaning that way...

        Which of these look best as trying to break in top 1000
        2fts
        1) Wilson to Jiminez
        2) Arnie to Jiminez
        3) Barkley + Arnie + Mendy to Martial + Jiminez + Laporte (-4)
        Can rotate Wilson with Martial/Jiminez in bad matches
